NUTRITION FOR SENIORS

LOS ANGELES, September 9, 2009 – In conjunction with Healthy Aging Month, the Senior Care Podcast by LivHOME has released Episode 16 -- Nutrition for Seniors.

In the new episode, Mary Beth Hardy, LivHOME’s Midwest Regional Director, discusses the importance of good nutrition and how caregivers can help their senior clients achieve it.

Hardy, who has degrees in public health and nursing, explains how physical changes related to aging can make food less palatable. She suggests mealtime rituals and foods that can improve seniors' diets, and also shares some personal recommendations for creating tasty, nutritious meals.

"Realizing how the aging process affects the entire nutritional spectrum from taste to socialization can help seniors and caregivers build a healthier eating lifestyle," says Hardy.
